In the Shadows of the Tropics (eBook, ePUB)

Climate, Race and Biopower in Nineteenth Century Ceylon

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this original work James Duncan explores the transformation of Ceylon during the mid-nineteenth century into one of the most important coffee growing regions of the world. This fascinating case study reveals the spatial fragmentation of modernity through a focus on modern governmentality and biopower, and offers a welcome non-state dimension to current work on studies of governmentality in geography.
